   ALL of these are mDNS / autodetect / zeroconf printers, and won't have a   
   driver set ("driverless" is kind of key there).  The only one that   
   actually defines a print queue is the last one (lpd://), though the   
   device name might not resolve properly if you tried using it. The other   
   three are just "kick it to the printer and pray"; which, let's face it,   
   won't actually work.   
      
   In short, the mDNS / DNS-SD information being presented by the printer   
   is incomplete or otherwise wrong.  The only thing that'd correct this   
   would be either:   
      
     (A) Updated firmware from Brother OR   
     (B) You correct it via the printer's webUI   
      
   Alternatively, stop / remove cups-browsed so that your PC stops picking   
   up these bad entries from the printer in the first place.

   Yes, because you're not using mDNS AND have a driver defined. Likewise,   
   using ipp or lpd with this IP address (and the proper print queue -->   
   "Binary_P1") would likely also work.
